Prostrate Acacia is an evergreen groundcover, ideal for slopes. Frequently used on Southern California freeways with its larger counterpart Acacia redolens, Low Boy is an extremely functional plant for slope coverage. The blue-gray phyllodes (modified leaves) are narrow and only a few inches long. This densely packed groundcover reaches a height of one foot with a spread of twelve to fifteen feet. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, but can also tolerate arid conditions once established, requiring minimal irrigation.
